There has to have been a pastiche reaction already because of his "fame." Dude's the Michael Bolton/Kenny G of painting."Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action. His actions are supposed to reflect his ethical code.
The rest of us rarely bother to think about our actions." --Solon

He sure knows how to make a buck. I can't fault him for that.What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

I'll be the outlier and say that I've always enjoyed his art...particularly the nighttime images of small, snow covered villlages and cottages.Originally posted by marsupial View PostHe sure knows how to make a buck. I can't fault him for that.
As for his personal beliefs and marketing schemes, I'll agree, he sounds like a schmuck.Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.

Other than the film "The Greatest Game Ever Played" (which is arguably the best sports movie of the 2000s), I'll agree on LaBeouf. And the fact he called his mother sexy is just a little weird, particularly because she is absolutely not.Originally posted by Katy Lied View PostI hate his "art" too.

I think his art is boring. I don't know much about him and his marketing schemes, but he obviously does well for himself. Making good money in the art world is not easy to do, so for that I am impressed.Originally posted by RedSox View PostI'll be the outlier and say that I've always enjoyed his art...particularly the nighttime images of small, snow covered villlages and cottages.

Can I add "Holes" to your list?
LaBeouf with Henry Winkler as his father were perfect for that film.

That is priceless - I'm stunned this seems to have gone directly to DVD. Looks like Peter O'Toole is throwing in the towel.

I guess this is not the thread to say how much I like the Thomas Kinkade calendar hanging in my cubical
I may be small, but I'm slow.
A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to, "The United States of America ", for an amount of "up to and including my life - it's an honor."

I endorse this thread.
Runner-up awards go to Greg Olson for peddling his art at Costco and Liz Lemon Swindle for her weepy, maudlin, schlock that seems to be omnipresent."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

She has about 50 original paintings in her home from Greg and Liz. She is on a first name basis with both of them. In fact I saw Greg at Deseret Book one day and asked him if he knew her just to see if she was full of shit or not. He absolutely knew her then I remembered she had probably been paying his house payment for the past 10 years.
For Christmas the whole family (all 14 kids) received a Liz Lemon Swindle framed painting. Five of the kids are about as far from being LDS as you can imagine and a few of them asked us if we wanted 2 paintings. So ebay here I come
